Oddball Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 Evening all, I did my first wheel build today, took about 2 hours but its all good! I then put on my hope mini rotor (203mm) and then tried slotting it into the pads and ive found the rotor is to big...or the calliper is to close so my question's are, What is the biggest rotor I can have? Or can I keep this rotor but get an adaptor to take the calliper away from the original mounting points?Also, whilst I’m here, I need some new pads but don’t know what to get or what shape and stuff, as ive looked about on eBay but there’s quite a few types.Thanks guys!Anf.P.s ive got a number 6 hope mini calliper...don’t know if this information helps but saves you asking for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 P.s ive got a number 6 hope mini calliper...don’t know if this information helps but saves you asking for it Are you sure its a number 6? I believe they only made the DH4 and Enduro 4 in number 6... You might have a 5? Or 3?CheersAdam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onza Kieron Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 I *think* 6 is for a Boxxer fork, did you buy this brake second hand and this is the first time you have come to fit it yes? in that case You will most likely need a ''normal'' caliper half, 3 is 185 so maybe a 5?

E.g. get a plus 20/40 from tarty bikes, or even get a smaller rotor or something?Thanks, Anf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Posted August 21, 2006 Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 If you get in touch with hope they may be able to make you a rotor to suit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
